Chapter 69: They’re So Stupid
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ning Fengnian mentioned that Xiaoxiao wanted to go to the mountains to dig traps and catch wild animals to make delicious meals. He also said that he dreamed that she caught a deer. Xiaoxiao wasn’t embarrassed and said sincerely, “I’m dreaming about what 1 think about in the day!”
Xiaoxiao sat up straight. “Deer meat is a good thing. It nourishes the spleen and energy, and it’s gentle. It’s most suitable for you who’s weak.” She looked at Rong Yan and said the second half.
Rong Yan raised her eyebrows. How could she tell that his body was weak? Moreover, the effect of venison… Did she know what venison was for?
Xiaoxiao had already self-reported the names of the dishes. “The venison is good. It’s delicious just by making it casually. Braised venison slices, steamed meatballs, carved venison, braised venison with green onions, stewed venison with potatoes…” After saying that, she realized everyone was looking at her with burning eyes.
She hurriedly stopped and tried to salvage the situation. “I came up with these recipes based on my creativity when 1 heard the shopkeeper of the Fragrance Restaurant mention his signature dishes. You guys know about the Fragrance Restaurant, right? They have restaurants in Jingcheng City.”
Shen Tianci pursed his lips and muttered softly, “I think their food is normal…”
Xiaoxiao ignored him and continued, “1 thought that the cooking method is about the same since it’s all meat. However, after thinking about it, I think roasting is the best cooking method.”
When she imagined that scene, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. “Cut the meat and skewer it with a bamboo skewer. Then, make some vegetables in the middle. It’s beautiful and delicious. Or, put the entire piece on a wooden branch and roast it as you spin it. When it sizzles with oil, brush a layer of sauce on it. This way, as you roast it, the taste of the sauce will seep in. If you like to eat sweet honey, rub some honey on it. If you like to eat spicy food, dip it in chili powder. Wrap it with washed lettuce. When you bite it, it will first be crisp, then tender, and finally, your mouth will be filled with fragrance!”
Shen Tianci, who was listening very seriously, felt that he was hungry!
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao did not plan to continue torturing him. She served the last dish, and the meal could begin.
There was no rule in the Ning Family that women were not allowed to sit at the table. Only three adults were eating, so they might as well sit together and borrow a big table from the Rong Yan to eat in a circle.
Every dish had its attractions, but Shen Tianci was most curious about the chicken Xiaoxiao had mended. Seeing that she had served the chicken and looked like an ordinary chicken soup, Young Master Shen pursed his lips and was about to look away.
Xiaoxiao saw his reaction and smiled. She used her chopsticks to open the chicken belly. Ning Erlang exclaimed, and Shen Tianci instinctively looked away. Then, he also exclaimed.
After the chicken belly was opened, there was white rice inside.
What Xiaoxiao liked to see the most was the inexperienced look of the customers. She deliberately tore open the chicken’s stomach slowly and waited for Shen Tianci to be so anxious that he wished he could do it himself. Then, she brought a small bowl over and scooped a bowl for him. After hesitating momentarily, she scooped a bigger portion for Rong Yan.
Looking at his jawline, which was even more obvious, Xiaoxiao smacked her lips. “Eat more. Look at how thin you are. Have you been eating well recently?” Rong Yan paused for a moment and felt his ears burning.
This girl… in front of so many people…
Rong Yan ignored her, but Young Master Shen didn’t mind. He was already eating so much that he couldn’t wait to bury his head in his bowl.
The rice that Ning Xiaoxiao scooped for him tasted like rice but not. It looked like rice, but when he ate it, it had the umami taste of chicken soup.
The butler also got a small bowl. The more he ate, the more surprised he became. “1 wonder if we can get my chef to learn this method for Young Master?”
Of course, Xiaoxiao nodded and said to Rong Yan, “Your guard should be able to learn it too.”
After some thought, she added, “If you don’t know how to do it, come to my house.”
Rong Yan pursed his lips and thought, “They’re so stupid, they won’t be able to learn it..”
